Behold the gate of glory as she is about to be seriously hacked. I do love an overgrown rambly bit of whimsy but unfortunately the wisteria and jasmine are doing some damage and must come down. I have been living in my beautiful 1970s Mark Warren dress, which was a gift from my sistah from another mistah, Dee.

I received this parcel from darling Em a couple of weeks ago, and for the first time in my life I followed instructions and waited for xmas to open it. Grown up!

She sent me a gorgeous handmade card and this beautiful 1970s wrap skirt, embroidered with my favourite colours...

And this splendid 1950s Italian ceramic burro for my collection. He was unfortunately decapitated on arrival, but a bit of hot glue and he's a happy ass again.

And I received a delightful parcel from dearheart Leisa. She has been selling off some of her fabularse vintage frock collection and I bought one frock PLUS she sent me another bonus frock, plus a vintage crocheted cushion cover, a divine kaftan pattern, some groovy jewellery and a 1974 crochet book, all wrapped up in a fab vintage pillow slip.

Q: How spoilt am I?! A: Very.

I think this pattern is this dress, without the ruffle... what do you think? I think I have ruffle envy.

The crochet book has some AMAZING treasures in it. This pattern caught my eye so I immediately raced to the expensive/exquisite yarn store and picked up...

Seven different colours...

STRIPES!

And in case you missed this bit of amazingness from a few weeks ago... check out the December issue of Vogoff.

If you're interested in seeing me in the nearly nude (and frankly, if you're not, then obviously you are dead inside) and having a good laugh at some genius writing, head over tothe xmas issue of Vogoff. I double dare you. With cherries on top. Go! GO NOW!
